(qmail list residents, please Cc me on replies, as I am not subscribed) rblsmtpd users, have you noticed an increase in spam double-bounces in the last 8 hours? I sure have, and here's why: Al Iverson writes the following: > >Ew, the txt records aren't a good way to track what's in the RSS. :( > >The zone file is currently huge, so we disabled the TXT records in an >attempt to make it smaller. This'll likely be less of an issue once we >disable free transfer of the zone, in the near future. I have made an emergency patch to rblsmtpd to allow it to look up A records instead of TXT. When doing this you have to supply your own error message, since you don't have a TXT record to copy from. The command ends up looking like this: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver-qmail -pR -c50 -u70 -g70 -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 \ smtp /usr/bin/rblsmtpd -b -r relays.mail-abuse.org -a \ "Open relay problem - see <http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%>" \ /usr/bin/rblsmtpd -b /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 2 & (Al, this example is directly derived from the one at http://maps.vix.com/rss/how.html, but if you use it there you'll have to add a note that it *requires* my patch to support the -a option) The patch may be found at http://www.cqc.com/~pacman/projects/rblsmtpd-rss/
